MANCHESTER CITY have completed their deal for Germany international Leroy Sane.
He becomes City’s fifth signing of the current transfer window and is their most expensive new star with Starsport understanding the club have paid Schalke £37m for his talents.
Sane said: "I feel really good, I’m happy to be here and happy that it has all worked out. Now I can settle here in Manchester and play for City.
"One of the reasons I decided to join City was Pep Guardiola, he convinced me to come here and that I can continue to progress.
“I know I will learn a lot under him and now I can take the next step in my career.
“I followed Pep at Barcelona and at Bayern where he achieved a lot and worked really well with young players.
“I think he can make me a more complete player. I think I will need a bit of time to start with because it’s another league and there’s a different style of play but I think I can adapt very quickly.”
Sane has four caps for Germany to his name already and featured for them at Euro 2016.
The versatile midfielder is regarded as one of the most talented youngster in the game and scored nine goals in 42 appearances for Schalke last term.
